Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 851 Meng Da Jumps Out Again
Deng Ai felt that the time had come after receiving this letter, and immediately sent a letter to Zhou Xin, stating the reason for sending troops:
First, no matter how much Liu Xun appeases him after he loses his important officials, the people of Yizhou will inevitably panic. Work together.

Second, Meng Da is in power, and his desire to fight for power has already begun to emerge. With Meng Da around, Yizhou will never be stable, and it is the right time to send troops at this time.

Third, when the Han army set out to attack Shangyong, Huang Quan did not expect to raid Yong'an, and except for Liao Hua's expedition to the mountains, the Yue army had not yet returned, and the army was ready to seize Yong'an.

When Zhou Xin got the report, he sent Sha Zan to Zigui first, planned to send troops with Deng Ai, led the army to retreat, and killed the arrogant Xia Houmao by the way.After that, Zhou Xin left Feng Jian and Qu Ping stationed in Xincheng to guard against Xia Houshang, and transferred Huang Xu from Jiangxia to Xiangyang to temporarily preside over Jingzhou military affairs.

On the sixth day of March in the year [-] of the Han Dynasty, Deng Ailiu, Shazan and Wang Chuan waited for the soldiers of Liao Hua. After the soldiers arrived, they left Wuling and attacked Fuling on the mountain road. They led an army of [-], led by Xu Sheng's [-] Shu army, and walked by water. Attack Yong'an.

Huang Quan discovered that the Han army was coming to attack, so he urgently sent people to Chengdu for help, and ordered his eldest son Huang Chong to lead a water army to meet the enemy.When the two armies clashed, Huang Chong was defeated and nearly 5000 people were lost. Huang Quan had no choice but to stick to Yong'an.

Liu Bei's Eastern Expedition failed, and he expanded Yong'an as the gateway to defend Yizhou.

Unexpectedly, this move hit Deng Ai's heart. There were so many catapults and flying ladders in the army, they took turns to battle, and broke through the city in ten days. Huang Quan still relied on the houses in the city to start a street battle with the Han army. .

Although the Independent Battalion is extremely powerful whether fighting alone or in a small team, but they are not familiar with the roads and terrain in the city, Huang Quan opened up the houses again, and there are also archers on the roofs and heights, which caused great harm to the Han army. Trouble, Zheng Lun, deputy general of Deng Ai, was killed by Liu Shi.

After two days of fierce fighting, Huang Quan had only 3000 people trapped in the Dudu Mansion.Deng Ai ordered to throw torches and shoot rockets into the mansion. In an instant, Yong'an City was ablaze.

In the Battle of Yong'an, all [-] Shu troops were killed, including Huang's father and son; [-] Han troops were killed, nearly [-] were injured, and only [-] were able to fight in the independent battalion.

When Zhou Xin arrived at the end of the battle, he saw the broken limbs, broken walls and ruins in the city, and the stench was spreading in the air.I can't stop sighing and sighing, are the people of Shu as evil as Huang's father and son?Some complained that Deng Ai was even more prodigal than himself.

Deng Ai didn't take it seriously, as long as he captured Yong'an, he could go directly to Berkshire along the waterway, meet Sha Zan in Jiangzhou, and if he captured Jiangzhou, he would be able to march all the way to Dongguanghan and push towards Chengdu.

Zhou Xin also knew that this loss was worth it in comparison. After all, Deng Ai's troops were half disabled and most of the siege equipment was worn out, so he had to order a rest for three days. The army first marched to Yangqu.

Chengdu exploded at this time. How could the Han army suddenly attack Yizhou again? Could it be that the massive battle of Yongliang was just an illusion.General Jiang Wei is out of the squad, please lead the reinforcements to Yong'an.

Meng Da, who had always been reticent, came out of the class and said: "The general is unparalleled in bravery and unparalleled wisdom. Everyone knows it. However, the general is not from Shu, and he doesn't know the geography of Yong'an..."

Jiang Wei snorted: "Although I'm not familiar with Yong'an geography, there are people in the army who are familiar with it. Besides, Han generals are familiar with geography?"

Meng Da hurriedly cupped his hands: "Meng Da didn't think carefully, the general forgives the crime, forgives the crime." After saying that, he stepped aside, like a passerby.

Familiarity with geography is not the point, the point is that the general is not from Shu!The seed buried in Wenwu's heart began to germinate, even Liu Xun was a little hesitant at first.

The former general Deng Zhi came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to lead troops to reinforce Yong'an."

Zuo Zhonglang General Zong Yu shook his head and said: "My lord, the intention of the Han army to destroy Shu is clearly revealed. Only important officials are sent to defend against the enemy, and only important officials can dispatch troops from all sides to coordinate and command." Chao Li Yan cupped his hands and said: "Yong'an City was built by the prime minister. The prime minister was not the governor of Yong'an at first, and he is most familiar with the geography of Yong'an. Your son Li Feng is now the governor of Jiangzhou in Berkshire. Is the prime minister willing to go to the expedition? I am willing to be the prime minister's vanguard."

As soon as this statement came out, except for Jiang Wei, everyone nodded in agreement. Li Yan was a famous general and minister, secondly, the first governor of Yong'an, and thirdly, the father of Jiangzhou governor Li Feng. There was no more suitable candidate than Li Yan.

Li Yan cupped his hands and said: "It is the duty of the minister to share the worries of the king. I hope that the leader will not destroy the Han army and never return!"

Liu Xun said in great joy: "then the prime minister will lead the army in person, the left Zhonglang will be Zong Yu, the right Zhonglang will be Hu Ji as his assistant, and the former general Deng Zhi will be the latter. All the troops and horses will be dispatched by you." He comforted Jiang Weidao again. : "The general came to Shu for a short period of time, and he knew little about the land of Bashu. During this extraordinary period, the general stayed in Chengdu, recruiting troops and buying horses as the prime minister's backup. It will not be too late to go out in the coming day. Both Huang and Li's father and son defended the country against the enemy, and also It's a nice talk."

A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, what else can Jiang Wei say.

Li Yan said again: "Your Majesty, although Yong'an is safe, I am worried that the Han army will divide into two groups, and Fuling has few troops. Please order Li Hui, the commander-in-chief, to reinforce Fuling as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the censor Qiao Zhou rushed out of the class and said: "What the prime minister said is very true. If the prime minister hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten that Pang Hong, the prefect of Fuling, is the son of Pang Shiyuan."

Pang Hong, the prefect of Fuling, is the son of Pang Tong. He is upright and straightforward, and dares to praise and criticize people.

Liu Xun frowned: "It's all at the prime minister's disposal."

On that day, Li Yan, Zong Yu, and Hu Ji led [-] troops to Jiangzhou.Jiang Wei became more and more unhappy, Pang Hong was already under suspicion, let alone himself.

Everyone was terrified, and Meng Da secretly rejoiced that everything was as he wished.According to his estimation, Huang Quan is a famous general, and Yong'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so no matter who leads the army in this expedition, the chance of winning is relatively high, but this credit cannot be taken by Jiang Wei, it will only make Jiang Wei's power ingrained.Li Yan is different. He is already the most important minister, and it is nothing more than making new contributions. Besides, although he can't get a share of the credit for winning, the weight in Liu Xun's heart will increase; and the relationship between Jiang Wei and Li Yan The gap will become bigger and bigger, which is beneficial to yourself.In case Li Yan loses, I have [-]% hope that I can replace Li Yan. At that time, if I send Jiang Wei to the expedition, it will not be difficult for Jiang Wei to repel the Han army. Jiang Wei, a Wei man, was the most important minister, so he was under one man and above ten thousand in the court.

Meng Da's calculations are very clear. He never expected that Deng Ai would attack Yong'an at all costs. When Li Yan arrived in Jiangzhou, he would break through Yong'an, and the situation in Yizhou would suddenly drop.

When Li Yan arrived in Jiangzhou, he joined forces with Li Feng and rushed to Yong'an. In Linjiang, he learned that Yong'an had been lost, and the Hanshui army was stationed in Yangqu.
